Massage

Why you need it?

Let’s face it: life can be stressful! We all fall victim to body aches, cramps and stiff muscles – an inevitable consequence of living a hectic life. Unattended, these aches and pains can lead to lethargy and fatigue and become a hindrance in your everyday life. Getting a regular massage is as vital as maintaining a healthy diet and getting regular exercise in order to keep your body healthy. A massage relaxes the body’s muscles and tissues, stimulates the lymphatic system, releases toxins, and improves blood circulation and skin texture.

As well as easing knots, spasms, cramps and tension in the muscles, a massage from our trained therapists will also improve your psychological and emotional well-being to a great extent, clearing your thoughts.

Types of Massage:

There’s really nothing that an intensively calming body massage in London at La Chic Beauty cannot solve so whether you suffer from constant migraines and metabolism issues or if you’re feeling the winter blues, know that there is a massage for you!

If it’s general relaxation you desire, our manual or hot stone massages will work wonders for your overall relaxation but if you suffer from a specific problem (i.e. migraines) then rest assured we have a treatment for such problems. The Shirodhara massage is the perfect cure for ailments like migraines or insomnia that unfortunately many suffer from.

It’s fascinating how something as easily accessible as a body massage can have such a dramatic effect in improving the psychological wellbeing of someone and is able to leave them with an upbeat spirit. It can provide clarity of thought by stimulating nodes causing the subsequent lymph drainage.

Hot Stone Massage:

In this therapy, smooth black volcanic rocks (basalt) are heated to a comfortably warm temperature in a heater and are then used to massage the body. The heated stones are designed to work at the deepest muscle level and the heat serves to warm up tight muscles so as to allow the therapist to work on the deeper muscles quicker.

The heat penetrates deep into the muscles and tissues permitting the muscles to relax much faster in comparison to a normal manual massage. It eases the tension built up in muscles and revitalises them by increasing blood circulation.

The therapist also places the stones on specifically targeted points on the body- specifically points on the spine, in the palms of your hand, between toes or other points on the body. This is to direct the flow of energy in your body so as to stimulate the body as well as help it to relax. Please note that the heated stones are not painful and all clients have left satisfied.

Feeling stressed, anxious or suffer from insomnia? Then you need the Shirodhara massage- an ancient and soothing massage where you receive a full body massage after which point warm oil is gently poured on the forehead. The mind and nervous system are rejuvenated, the mental chatter ceases along with any anxiety and all the built up stress is replaced with intense feelings of relaxation and peace.

Over stimulation of one’s sense is one of the biggest causes of illness therefore making the Shirodhara massage, which soothes and nourishes the senses and decreases mental disturbances, vital in modern life. As the team here at La Chic Beauty is expertly trained, you can be sure that you’re in safe hands and that the massage will indeed increase spiritual awareness and improve concentration and focus.

Practical Advice beforehand:

• Please be hydrated (drink enough water)• The hair will be full of oil after Shirodhara, so bring a hair band or a hat in winter – very important• Go straight home, by a car preferably as opposed to public transport, and have a warm bath when you return home. It is important that you relax for the rest of that day- with no TV use for best results.
